Yoo, I love being able to make my weird little projects, and it means so much to have people giving me so much support! Thanks to you and everyone else who stick around!
Thank you so much! No patreon but I may make the game "pay what you want" once it's in a state that I'm happy with.
Not sure about a release date. I want to get a demo out soon, but I've been running into a few development issues right out of the gate. I mostly want to ensure that the game has a solid foundation set up before I release it for feedback
Not at the moment. Once I've got the Impious page set up, I'll likely make it "pay what you want" if people feel like throwing a few bucks at me. Either way, it already means a lot that folks like my stuff!
It's definitely pretty ambitious on my end lol But Hilly Hills taught me that receiving frequent and consistent feedback will greatly help the quality control. I'm really excited to get a demo released!!
Hey there! Thanks for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed the game!!
I haven't really considered which variation of endings is technically canon, but I think my personal favorite ending is Unify route with the hyper ending. I wouldn't mind using the Hilly's again in the future, and the idea that X2's formula was a bust because it was TOO effective is a fun idea! Maybe she uses it for personal reasons lol not sure yet, I might come back to it.
Not sure I'll be making more BFS9 any time soon, but I'm certainly not done with it! Thanks again for playing!!
Good question! I don't know! My next game will have pregnancy content, but I still have quite a bit of work left to do before I can release a demo.
The Preggo game Jams are pregnancy-themed game contests that have been hosted by PreggoPixels; BFS9 was my entry for the first Jam over here, and in 2024 they hosted another Jam over here. I didn't get to participate in the second one, but if they host a third one this year I'm hoping I'll get to join that one!
You're the first to mention it as far as I could tell! I wouldn't be surprised if others found it and just didn't think much of it.
It means a lot that you like my stuff so much! I really like making it, and I'm really looking forward to making more! Happy Holidays to you as well, bud!
I've got a pretty big project I'm working on right now, but once I get some more ideas for this setting I'll be making more X2 focused games in the future!
As it happens, IMPIOUS is the title of my next game! I was hoping to have more promo material ready for it by now, but I've got quite a bit of concept and official game art cooked up that I'm going to be sharing here shortly! I'll be making a new post to show drop some more details for it here in a little while!
I also appreciate how invested you are in the lore, love all the speculation! BFS9 is gonna be taking a bit of a break for a bit, though. ALSO also, thanks a bunch for sticking around! Though I don't think your post got deleted? At least if you're talking about this one. I'm just bad at replying to things properly on itch so you may not have noticed my response, and if that's the case my bad lol.
Ayyy, thanks for the positive review! I really appreciate you praising the writing, it was one of my favorite parts. And yeah, that chicken game wound up being a real pain for a lot of folks. Balancing those mini games was a lot trickier than I expected, so I'll be taking that into account for later projects. I keep forgetting to make a guide for the milk and keys! The keys only matter in the Unify route, and the three milks are found in the house, in the apple shed (after the first mini game), and in the well house (after the clown game). As for Pawpaw, his role is strictly just story stuff. I wanted there to be this kind of mysterious presence who's got this kind of foreboding aura, but I didn't really do enough with him. Though after interacting with him, he does pop up in a few obscure locations! After the chicken game, he'll be perched up on the balcony, and just before the greenhouse mini game he'll be huddled in a corner on the left as you enter.
Thanks again for the positive review! I don't see myself coming back to this game, but it was a good learning opportunity for future projects.
Thanks bud! Working on the pacing of my games is something of a priority going forward. Still getting used to it, but I'd like them to be a bit longer in the future as well.
I really appreciate you saying so! It's hard not to feel disappointed with it, but I don't think it was a total wash. I love making these games, so it means the world that people like them! Very excited to start working on new projects!!
Well thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I don't see myself coming back to this one, though. It's held together by duct tape, and I don't have much interest in doing anything else with it
Glad ya liked 'em both! Truth be told I certainly had more fun writing the Hilly's than I did any of the other npc's in the first game. I'm definitely going to try and spend more time with the antagonists in future ventures
So just to be clear, keys only really matter in the Unify route. Second key goes to the grave after the Greenhouse mini game, Billy drops a hint about it
Have you tried the easy mode version? If not you can activate it before heading in; there's a shining star on the far left of the fence before you go through the doors. It'll slow the chickens down by quite a bit.
I'm not really sure what the next BFS9 will be about. It'll probably be a while before I get to working on it, since I've got another game I'm going to be starting here shortly. A butt focus for the next episode would be fun, though!
Hoping to release details on my next project here in a couple weeks, once I've made enough progress that's worth sharing
Hey there! I actually do plan on making more BFS9, though I'm not sure when the next episode will be. I want this series to be a way for me to experiment with game design and such, so there'll likely be more gameplay variety in the future. Probably more kinks, too! Really depends on what I wanna do with it by the time I feel like making another episode. I'm currently working on a new project that will be combat-oriented, and will feature a wider variety of kinks (including pregnancy, weight gain, breast expansion, fmg, among others)! I'll be dropping more details on it once I've scraped together enough material to warrant showing it off. It'll be longer term, but it doesn't mean I'm done with BFS9 for good; it's just on the back burner until more inspiration strikes.
Thanks for the kind words and support! I certainly plan on making more silly stuffs!!
That was the original intent, to be honest. The whole base level was supposed to be fairly difficult, but I ran out of time for the Game Jam and I just never got around to coming back to it
There's a big hole in the center of the map, interacting with it after the 4th game should give X2 the option to jump in. But if that doesn't work then there may be a weird bug I need to look at
I have no idea how it would play on mobile, to be honest. I know that clicking on pc doesn't work, does just tapping the screen on mobile make it do anything?
If you're talking about the Demi Goddess ending, that only happens in the non-canon "Return to Diadem XII" ending, but you have to find all the probes and do all of the H. scenes in order to get it!
There are only two main endings, with variations of each. I guess there's technically three, with only one actual bad end for not finding/using any of the milk in the Divide route.
And that's good! I figured as much, but some of these bugs have been so absolutely befuddling that I had to wonder if I somehow made a whoopsie there. I'll have to take another look at the H. scenes then, just to see how they might be messing with things.
You're a BEAST, Vongrak, thanks for all the bug testing! I'm gonna reply to all of your points right here;
Been play testing a bit, and the changes I've made for next build seem to have taken care of the Purgatory loop; I've run through it with each variation of milk-tiddy size and I haven't hit the loop, so I'm hopeful that it's been taken care of!
Yeah, that one's intentional. X2 will refuse to drink the milk once she's at the base, I might add some kind of disclaimer for that. The idea was that she'd intended to save all of the milk for studying, but was drawn to the taste. So once she gets back to her base, she's kind of over the craving now that she has immediate access to do what she wanted to do in the first place.
Ah yes, the surprise X2 mitosis! This isn't the first time this one's been brought up, but I have had some trouble replicating it myself. I'm pretty sure I know what went wrong, I just need to do some play testing on my end to see if I can replicate (and fix) it.
The synthesizer issue seems to be fixed, now. I just forgot to add a switch in the last patch lol But it seems to be working as originally intended!
Thanks for the inventory check! Fortunately the only factors that play into the ending stuff are how many milks you've drank and how many you have in your inventory. Keys are only for getting the Will so you can unlock the H. scenes, and any items you pick up from the mini games don't really do much outside of their respective games. (Rations carry over from the last game, and give you a health boost. I should let people know to use those before the dialogue battle with the Hillys)
Also a quick note, the formula for which compound you wind up with goes; 0 milk and 0 tiddy size = jump to bad end 1 milk and 0 tiddy size = Mild Compound 2 milk and 0 tiddy size = Moderate Compound 0 milk and 1 tiddy size = Dud 0 milk and 2 tiddy size = Mild Compound 1 milk and 1 tiddy size = Dud (The Illythian milk dilutes the cow milk so it fails) 1 milk and 2 tiddy size = Moderate Compound (Illythian milk bonds successfully) 2 milk and 1 Illythian size = Unstable Compound (Illythian milk bonds TOO successfully, weird science reaction stuff) 3 milk = Unstable (That's some strong milk) I was originally going to make the Mix formula max out with the Moderate compound, but felt like that may have been too punishing for people who just wanted to see tiddy growth in the tiddy growth game, so I switched it up. Truth be told none of this makes sense and I was kind of firing from the hip. I forgot to account for mixing the variables until pretty late in development, so it's pretty rushed and it shows.
Next comment!
By secret scene do you mean the hentai scenes? I hope you're on the Unify route for these next points if so, because they're not meant to be accessible in the Divide route and that'd open up a WHOLE CAN of problems! Assuming it IS the Unify route, I think I know what might be happening there. I'll take a look at those conditional branches just in case I need to make some tweaks to it.
It's really weird that skipping the H-scenes would change things, since that doesn't have any switches or variables attached to it that would interact with the milk used/milk collected variables. It's worth looking into! The Unify route does track the milk/tiddy size variables a little differently than the Divide route does, so there may be a couple hiccups there.
Don't worry about being lost, I am too lol I'm pretty sure that a lot of the issues with the events stem from the fact that I likely used conditional branches incorrectly, so it's not counting these variables the way I want it to. Luckily, things seem to be working in my play tests with the changes I've made, so I feel like I'm at least on the right track to fixing this ending sequence.
Next comment!
I'm not sure if the order these things were done will affect much, but I'm glad you noticed the different variations for the H. scenes! I like adding that kind of variety just in case people wanna do things in one specific way or another, which is probably the root to a lot of the problems I've been having with these bugs lmao
Thanks again for all the bug testing, friendo! Trying to fix these has been a pain, but everyone who's been looking for and reporting on these things have been a huge help! I'm hoping the next patch will have all of these issues cleaned up for good.
Yeah, I've known about this one but have no idea how to fix it without messing with how the battle works, and that one was so tedious to get working I'm hesitant to mess with it at all by now lol. I'm likely just going to leave it as it is, since it's not so much harmful as it is a bit annoying.
